Lexington Residents Asked to Clear Walks and Steps – Drive Carefully

Lexington Residents Asked to Clear Walks and Steps – Drive Carefully
DEM Blogger
February 19, 2021

Lexington, Ky. (Feb. 19, 2021) – As crews from Streets & Roads and Water Quality continue treating roads per the City’s snow plan, conditions have improved; however, side and neighborhood streets remain snow and ice-covered and may be slick. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, drive with caution and increase stopping distance.

Since midnight, the Lexington Police Dept. reports no overnight collisions or motorist assists.

The City is again suspending waste collection today, Friday, Feb. 19, out of concerns for employee safety and protection of private property. No City carts or dumpsters will be collected on Friday. Residents may leave their carts at the curb. Please keep the carts out of the street to make it easier for road crews. Waste Management will return to its regular pick-up schedule beginning Monday, Feb. 22.

The Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention’s Community Emergency Winter Weather plan remains active until the morning of Saturday, Feb. 20. If you know of or see someone that appears to be in need of emergency shelter, call (859) 533-9199. If it is between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., call (859) 258-3600. For a list of all available shelters and transportation services, as well as other resources, visit uwbg211.org.
